A Marriage Benediction

H. Norman Wright

A benediction is usually prayed at the conclusion of the wedding service. You may want to use the following benediction, compiled from various sources: May your marriage bring you all the fulfillment a marriage should bring and may the Lord give you patience, tolerance and understanding.

Each day couples have countless conflicts, most of which would never happen if people would let the little ones go.

The Art of Patience in Marriage

H. Norman Wright

You need to be patient with one another. Humans are odd creatures. Not only are our partners funny ducks at times, but you, too, have many quirks that can grate on the nerves of your partner.

Change is possible for those of us who are believers in Christ Jesus, because our faith is an inward transformation, not just an outward conformity.

Change From Within with the power of Faith

H. Norman Wright

"I can’t change. I’ve tried and tried. Heaven only knows it’s impossible. I’m stuck.” Many people actually believe those words. They are frustrated with their efforts. They try not to get upset at others, or blow up, but they can’t seem to change.

Begin to look with new eyes—with God’s perspective. Ask Him to illumine the eyes of your heart.

The Importance of Attitude in Marriage

H. Norman Wright

You have heard the expression, “That person has an attitude.” It is usually said to denote a problem. But attitude can be a virtue! Attitude. What is it? It is a choice we make to look at life a certain way.

Reuel Howe said: “If there is any one indispensable insight with which a young married couple should begin their life together, it is that they should try to keep open, at all cost, the lines of communication between them.”

The Path of Communication

H. Norman Wright

In the journey of marriage, communication stands as the essential path that determines the course of the relationship. Each exchange of words, each choice in expression, shapes the landscape of shared life.

What can you do when problems occur? It is simple. Praise God even when you do not know what will happen next. Praise Him for what He will do.

When Tough Times Come

H. Norman Wright

Some rough and tough times may invade your marriage. Life is not smooth; upsets will come. You may wonder what the future holds for you and your partner. What can you do when problems occur?

The number-one conflict during the first year of marriage is money. Some of your biggest disagreements may be about money, but they do not have to be.

Money and Your Marriage—Curse or Blessing?

H. Norman Wright

The number-one conflict during the first year of marriage is money. Some of your biggest disagreements may be about money, but they do not have to be. Why does this happen? We all have different spending and saving styles. This is a reflection of our personalities.

Jesus needs to be closer to you than you will be to each other.

The Marriage Union in the Light of the Bible

H. Norman Wright

“Leave” and “cleave”—different words, significant words. When you exchange your wedding vows, these two words will become part of your life. But do you understand them? To leave means to sever one relationship before establishing another.

Couples need to commit to a fidelity without any qualifications, limitations or restrictions.

See Things as God Sees Them

H. Norman Wright

Eyes—we use them to scan the room, to focus so intently on someone that everything else begins to blur. Our eyes tell us stories. They invite people into our lives. Your eyes were an important instrument in bringing you to marriage.
